How
many of our under 30 generation have read his books, or even
know about Dale Carnegie, I could never guess. Yet this one
man's simple concepts have changed millions of lives
dramatically and positively for generations, not just in
North America, but around the world. In my opinion everyone
should read at least one of his inspiring books. Like
Napoleon Hill, another author who has inspired folks around
the world, he leads by example. The management at Ethiopian
Airlines has the type of action-based thinking and 'hands
on' approach Carnegie talks about on every page of his best
seller, "How to Win Friends and Influence People.

Ethiopia is Voted One of Frommer's
Top 12 Travel Destinations for
2007

NEW YORK CITY -- December,
2006 -- Frommer's Travel Guides, one of the world's leaders
in travel planning guides and resources, and Frommers.com,
an essential online destination for those planning the
perfect travel excursions, have announced that Ethiopia is
one of the top ten travel destinations for 2007. This year,
the editors at Frommer's Travel Guides and Frommers.com
scoured the globe and polled their stable of authors and
experts to identify twelve surprising, thriving, or emerging
travel destinations.

After careful thought and
consideration, the editors from Frommer's proclaimed that
Ethiopia is one of their top picks of the places not to be
missed in 2007. It's important to remember that Frommers.com
is the preemminent source that allows thousands of travelers
to easily find candid, timely articles written by
Frommers.com experts about destinations around the
world.

The selection of Ethiopia as
one of their top travel destinations is not a surprising
choice to us, but it may be to others, but Frommers.com
states that Ethiopia is finally emerging out of the shadows
caused by years of political strife and economic hardship.
Improved infrastructure has made traveling there
increasingly popular, especially among independent-minded
travelers and those seeking adventure. Ethiopia is revered
for its rich history as one of the earliest Christian
kingdoms (the town of Axum is said to be the home of the
ancient Ark of the Covenant). Visit the monolithic churches
of Lalibela -- in particular the Church of St. George, named
after Ethiopia's patron saint, which is carved into the
shape of a cross from a rock mountain and is perhaps the
most exquisite of the monolithic structures. Visitors
seeking additional information can refer to

their online-only guide to Ethiopia appearing in
2007.
